Laboratory

Expert Veterinary Laboratory Services

At Mt Airy Animal Hospital and Andorra Veterinary clinic, we offer a comprehensive  range of laboratory testing to support the health and wellbeing of your pet. Our  available lab tests include:

Blood Work

Complete blood counts (CBC), chemistry panels, thyroid testing, tick  borne diseases, heartworm disease, feline leukemia and feline immunodeficiency  virus (feline aids) and more to assess organ function, detect infections, and  evaluate overall health.

Urinalysis

Evaluates kidney function, urinary tract health, and detects signs of  infection or systemic disease.

Cytology

Examines cells from skin masses, ear swabs, or fluid samples to  diagnose infections, inflammation, or cancer.

To ensure we can provide the broadest range of testing, we also partner with trusted  outside reference laboratories. This allows us to offer nearly any diagnostic test  your pet may need, including specialized testing not available in-house.

Lab Services Offered

Our in-house lab capabilities allow us to perform many essential tests right here in the  clinic.
The key benefits of this include:

Faster Results

Receive critical lab data within minutes, not days.

Immediate Treatment

Early diagnosis means we can start treatment right away,  which is especially important in emergency or rapidly progressing conditions.

Improved Monitoring

We can quickly recheck values during treatment to ensure  your pet is responding well.

How Lab Testing Helps Your Pet

Laboratory testing plays a vital role in early disease detection, diagnosis, and ongoing  management of health conditions. Whether your pet is sick, showing subtle changes, or  simply in for a routine exam, lab tests help us:

By combining the speed of in-house testing with the depth of reference lab diagnostics, we  ensure your pet receives the most thorough and responsive care possible.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my pet need lab work?

Lab work provides essential information about your pet’s overall health and helps us  detect issues that may not be visible during a physical exam. Whether it’s part of a routine  wellness check or used to investigate a specific symptom, lab tests help us diagnose  illnesses early, monitor chronic conditions, and tailor treatment plans to your pet’s unique  needs.

Many in-house test results are available the same day, while some specialized tests sent to outside labs may take 1–3 business days.

Some tests, like blood panels, may require fasting—our team will let you know exactly what to do before your pet’s appointment.

Lab work can help identify infections, organ dysfunction, diabetes, thyroid issues, parasites, and early signs of chronic disease.

Annual testing is recommended for most adult pets, with more frequent testing for seniors or pets managing ongoing health conditions.
